Other databases from OvidSP (PsycInfo, EconLit etc).It is recommended you import your references in the following order: So if you import your results from a database which doesn’t have abstracts (for example), then import results from one which does, the copy with the abstract will automatically be deleted. Importing your references into EndNote 1.1 Import your results in the correct orderĭid you know that the order that you import your references can have an impact on the quality of the information your EndNote library contains? This is because when EndNote removes duplicates, it automatically leaves the first copy added to your library and removes subsequent copies.
Let me know in the comments if you have given it a try. I’ve not had a chance to try Wichor’s technique. doi: 10.3163/1536-5050.104.3.014.īelow I’ve re-written the instructions provided by Leeds University Library as I have tested them myself. De-duplication of database search results for systematic reviews in EndNote. You can find Wichor’s paper at Bramer WM, et al. I import medline first then export with a special style & reimport My article describes how that can be done. Page numbers should be adapted, as medline has abreviated page numbers. Mine works faster i think, and sensitivity is 99.5% and error margin 1 in 3000. Wichor Bramer has also written a paper about how to do this, which he pointed out on twitter. Naila Dracup sent me a link to a guide written by Judy Wright and the AUHE Information Specialists at the University of Leeds.
4/ĪS often happens, lovely library colleagues came to the rescue. If anyone knows of a system which is good at removing duplicates from >20 databases, let me know. Faced with the prospect of deduplicating 26k results, I put out a plea/rant on twitter. If you have done any systematic review searching, you will have spent time removing duplicate references from your results.
